Where's Waldo . . .

This year Easter falls on April 24th. Next year it will be on April 8th and in 2013 it will be March 31st. Figuring out 'when is Easter' is like a game of 'Where's Waldo'. I know it falls in conjunction to the Jewish Passover and apparently that is based on the solar and lunar cycles, but what I don't get is why. It is widely known that Jesus was NOT born on December 25th, and yet we celebrate his birth on that absolute day each and every year - no sliding scale between say 12/25 - 3/1. I guess a 30 day window is not bad considering how long ago the events happened, but I do admit to scratching my head in bewilderment each year wondering 'when is Easter'.

  3. Oh yeah, but at least you only have the one holiday like that. ALL our holidays change around every year! Although, we get a whole calendar that tells all of the days. You could get a Jewish calendar and see if it's some certain number of days before or after Passover!

  5. I can never keep up with Easter! I can't believe someone can make something so pretty and small. I can't even ice a cake properly!
